Right Click Menu in Folders Panel isn't Right

The Right Click Menu in Folders pane...
- ...lacks Cut, Copy and Paste. 'Nuff said. (ok, perhaps is difficult to implement since we're cross-platform but it is a show stopper, you know...). What's fun tough, is that you have in the main menu above Cut, Copy, Paste... why you cannot use the engines from there? Also, perhaps you can add Copy To... and Move To...
- ...when the user clicks with the right mouse button to open the menu, the program opens also the file folder on which the right click menu is invoked, which is misleading, wrong and against of any Operating System convention. Just checked on Windows, Linux and OSX. When someone will right-click on a folder, by convention the GUI will temporary highlight that folder (ok, perhaps the temporary hightlight is a little bit difficult to implement - we can live without highlighting for the time being) and show the contextual (right-click) menu without opening that folder in the Browser pane. Opening the folder with the right click when we want just to complete a Paste or any other operation (Rename, Make a New Folder etc.) is very, very annoying. Now you'll tell me that IDImager works like XnView. But AfterShotPro, Lightroom, FastStone Viewer, Windows Explorer, Finder, Nautilus etc. etc. etc. doesn't.
- ...lacks Folder Properties window (you know, the OS dialog which shows how many files and how many GB has the chosen folder). (For the implementation on Windows, see 'Properties' in XnView Classic's right-click menu - also doable on *nixes)
